Bay Area (Part 2)

Part 2 or Griffin and Josh's Bay Area Trip. Refer to previous post to see Part 1.
The next day we visited a Steam Train at Tilden Regional Park. Amye, Uncle Marshal, Micah, Liam, Matt, Lisa, Rocco, Grampy, Griffin and I all had a great time.

Griffin and Liam acting silly.

After going to Tilden, Rocco had to take a nap, but the other boys, Grampy, Amye, Marshal and I went to The Adventure Playground. It was on the bay and the cool breeze was nice on the sunny day. The Adventure Playground is kind of like the Mad Max version of a playground: Kids get to climb on, paint on, and build their own structures in a dust bowl filled with mayhem.

 

Griffin and Liam climbing on some ropes.

There was also a Zip-line. Liam was a pro.

Griffin also rode it a couple times.

Micah and Griffin in a Fox-hole. Micah's favorite

imaginary game is Army Time.

Bath time for Rocco and Griffin.

Later on, we visited Redwood Regional Park. What is a trip to the Bay Area without seeing some Redwoods? We went with Amye, Micah, Liam, Lisa and Grampy. It was a fun and beautiful park to visit.

We even saw a few of California's State Mollusk, the Banana Slug.

Griffin and Grandma Kathy outside the GGpa's Rehab Center.

The main reason Griffin and I went to the Bay Area was to see Great Grandpa Charlie. He recently had some serious health scares so we expedited our family trip and made it a Father / Son trip. During our five day trip we visited him in the hospital once and at a Rehab Center three times. We also got to see Great Grandma Jeanie at the new Montecito home a few times. It was great to see her and know where she is staying these days.

Charlie, Liam, Micah and Griffin. Boy were being a tad silly.

Next post will be Olive June's 4th Birthday. Hopefully I will get to those soon . . .
